Big, Open, and Properly Protected Data?

Big data keeps making the headlines. Open data is high on governments’ agenda. This CloudWATCH webinar will hear contributors to the research paper ‘’Big & Open Data in Europe: A growth engine or a missed opportunity?” debating the impact on the economic potential of various parts of Europe – North, South and East. CNIL, France’s Data Protection Authority, will then describe the main challenges of privacy from a European perspective.

The stakes are high indeed to make sure that legitimate concerns for privacy will not hamper a free flow of data and hold back the development of industry, thus depriving citizens and consumers of the benefits of the digital era.

On 24 September you will have the opportunity to ask questions in this interactive webinar.

After multiple newsworthy data breaches in recent times, IT security and privacy governance has gained importance across the globe. Most organizations have established security and compliance policies and procedures to protect their intellectual property and corporate assets, especially in the IT space. As companies transition their applications and data to the cloud, it is critical for them to maintain, or preferably surpass, the level of security they had in their traditional IT environment. Leaders are also responsible for defining policies to address privacy concerns and raise awareness of data protection within their organization, and for ensuring that their cloud providers adhere to the defined privacy policies. Failure to ensure IT Security when using cloud services could ultimately result in higher costs and potential loss of business, thus eliminating any of the potential benefits of the cloud.

While security and privacy are related, they are also distinct. IT security is primarily concerned with defending against attacks, not all of which are aimed at stealing data, while privacy is specifically related to personal data held by an organization, which may be endangered by negligence or software bugs, not necessarily by malevolent persons. On this webinar our panel of experts will address some of the key distinctions, and discuss some best practices for managing IT security and implementing privacy governance for the cloud.

58% of security professionals expect their budgets to stay the same next year. If you’re like them, you’re trying to secure a growing number of cloud services and infrastructure without a bigger budget.

In May 2018, a new data privacy law comes into effect and any organisation with data on the 500+ million citizens of the European Union (EU) has to comply. Fines can be up to 4% of revenue, mandatory data loss notification to regulators and users comes into force, and class action lawsuits will land on the desk of anyone unfortunate enough to lose data. As with any data loss incident, these costs may be dwarfed by the loss of brand image and customers choosing not to do business with you again.

Data protection has a tendency to be intimidating for organizations, users and implementers. Organizations see the value of having a data protection program but the challenges of applying a data protection solution often upsets the balance and work flow within the organization, users and create challenges for those implementing. Wouldn’t it be great if there were solutions that took the guesswork out of data protection and key management?

Data moves in a non-linear way. Data protection and key management needs to interact with the data and the users in a seamless way that doesn’t disrupt their processes or destroy the characteristics of the data.

Fortunately, in today’s data driven environment, there are strategies and technologies to protect data that do not have to be the high-risk propositions feared by organizations, users and implementers - IT professionals. By thinking of data protection and key management as data t protection enablers instead of obstacles, you can easily protect data across the infrastructure and beyond.

Join this session and learn how HPE Security – Data Security offers unintimidating data protection and key management solutions that take the guesswork out of data protection. Protecting data through a layered security approach: from data-at-rest to data-in-motion and data-in use.

With cloud adoption on the rise, IT leaders are looking to peer organizations to understand security best practices in the cloud. Bitglass and CSA surveyed infosec professionals to uncover the top threats to cloud security and the tools most often used to secure cloud apps.

In this webinar, John Yeoh, Senior Research Analyst at CSA, joins Bitglass to discuss the results of the "Mitigating Risk for Cloud Applications" report and to explore the major issues facing organizations in their move to the cloud, from Shadow IT and inadequate visibility to concerns around government access.

The needs for IT agility for business, is driving adoption of flexible computing environments including IaaS, Private Cloud among others. The challenge associated with this transformation towards the Hybrid cloud environment is the assurance around the security for the workloads and data. Specific issues arise due to the “Shared security model ” of the varying Cloud environments in terms of implementation of security, compliance and optimization in these environments.

The need of the hour is to ensure effective security governance through standardization of security controls/Policies across Hybrid cloud deployments are driven by embedded security mechanisms with lesser bolted-on overhead on the IT security teams. One successful example is the leveraging of “security for the cloud from the cloud” to provide elastic and adaptive security services for the hybrid cloud

Information theft is the most expensive consequence of cybercrime, according to a recent Ponemon study. Business interruption following a cyberattack exacts a high price in productivity and business process failures—even greater than the cost of information and revenue losses.1 The more data you share in the cloud, the more you expose it to attack. While there’s no one way to achieve absolute security for your data, there’s a lot you can do to safeguard against attacks and to stop them from crippling your business if they do occur. Join us for this webinar as we explore ways to more effectively protect your cloud-based data, detect threats, respond to attacks, and recover from them.

According to Gartner, cloud-based security is continuing to grow at a significant rate, spiking at a 35% CAGR compared to 6% for on-premise appliances. Newer and more advanced threats are creating risks that traditional appliances are struggling to keep up with. Consequently, the report highlights a number of key priorities for your security strategy, including:
- The need for ‘advanced threat defense’ and not just a web filtering solution
- The critical nature of securing your remote offices

Is your security strategy aligned with all of the key recommendations from Gartner? What are the implications for enterprise security?

The business benefits of cloud applications are undeniable, however security concerns can still slow their adoption. While many mainstream cloud applications offer secure platforms and excellent security capabilities, much of the security burden is still on you. You still need a strategy and the technology tools to ensure your organization can safely and efficiently utilize these cloud apps.

Join IBM Security as we discuss five essential requirements for ensuring safe and efficient adoption of cloud applications.
